BB-118 Phantom Orion B:D Draft - Finished!

So, I want to update this too, here's what I was thinking:

-Changing the Phantom Stamina combo to MF(-H) Phantom TH170CS.
-Reformatting the Metal Wheel section so it's what the other 4D Beyblades are like.
-Adding to the B:D section that although its solo spin times are good, B:D isn't good because it is super easily KO'd.
-Should I remove the Phantom B:D combo completely? Or say that the best possible use for B:D is that combo, albeit outclassed?
-Change the overall section to remove the glorified B:D stuff.
That is really a Balance combo, though. Maybe D?
Always try to include best combination for a part. Has it been thoroughly tested vs other Stamina? (I haven't really gone into the testing threads in a while)
I actually meant D, my mistake. th!nk was telling me about the CS one and it got in my head, haha
Hey all. I made a few edits to this draft. I'm not particularly great at this though, so forgive me if it's bad.

4D Clear Wheel: Orion

-Weight: 3.0 Grams

Orion is a four-sided Clear Wheel that has two sharper spikes and two broad edges. The two sharper sides of the Clear Wheel represent the top of Orion's forehead, and create a distinct face when used in conjunction with Phantom. It contains the iron powder that all 4D Clear Wheels have, however this does not add significantly to it's weight.

4D Metal Wheel: Phantom

-Weight: 44.50 Grams

Phantom is structured of both a Metal Frame and Core. The Core is located in the center of the Metal Wheel, and is polycarbonate. The Core is the Base of the Metal Wheel, as it is where the rest of the Beyblade's parts connect to. The Metal Frame surrounds the Core, and this structure provides many positive attributes, the most prominent being the added Flywheel effect.

Phantom has two Modes, named "Attack Mode" and "Stamina Mode", and can switch Modes by flipping the Metal Frame 180 Degrees. Attack Mode is when the Metal Frame displays Orion's "Smirk", four blue stars, and two prominent smooth curves. The more rigid and indented Mode is Stamina Mode.

[b]Use in Stamina Combination

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Phantom's Stamina Mode is great for Stamina purposes in combos such as Phantom Cancer W145WD or Phantom Cancer TH170/230D

Use in Attack/Tornado Staller Combination
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Phantom's Attack Mode has been shown to work well in the Tornado Staller combo Phantom Hades/Cancer 90MF.

Metal Frame

-Weight: 42.0 Grams

The Metal Frame is what mostly affects the 4D Metal Wheel's performance, as well as the Mode Change. The outward weight distribution provided by the Metal Frame gives Phantom great balance.

Core:

-Weight: 2.50 Grams

This Core is a translucent purple color, and has four small, upward-facing protrusions that allow Phantom to switch Modes. It is made of the light-weight Polycarbonate material that all plastic components of MFB are made of, and is relatively thin.

4D Bottom: Bearing Drive (B:D):

-Weight: 3.45 Grams

B:D has a unique, tall shape, and a height comparable to the TH170 (170 height) Track. It is also of a translucent yellow color which allows a faint view of the internal workings of the Shielded Ball Bearings. B:D is similar to bearings used in past Beyblade Systems such as Wolborg MS' Bearing Core, and lives up to the reputation that Bearings have. Bearings allow the Beyblade to spin for long periods of time with minimal amounts of friction.

Bearing Drive features a metal shaft connected to the middle of the 4D Bottom, a metal casing that it connected to the tip of B:D, and metal spheres in between them. Sometimes, the bearing is able to stop the shaft from spinning, resulting in less friction between the stadium floor and itself. These factors increase Stamina, and due to these features, B:D can reach solo spin times of up to seven minutes,but has many mold variations and general inconsistencies that can make this rarely happen. B:D's solo spin time often varies between 2-5 minutes.


Use in Stamina? Customization
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
While B:D has many issues in a BB-10, it has proven to work extremely well in Zero-G Stadiums such as the combo Gargole/Revizer Dragooon B:D

-Weight: 48.15 Grams

Phantom Orion B:D is an extremely versatile Beyblade that contains many useful parts. Phantom's Stamina is roughly equal to that of Duo, albeit performing better in different competitive situations and B:D is considered by many to be the best parts to use in Zero-G Stadiums. As an added bonus, this Beyblade is primarily used uncustomized. Every Blader should own at least one of this Beyblade

I could measure the parts if that is fine with you guys.

Note: I need the name of that one gold Orion from someone. That one from the rare-as-hell set.

Thank you BladerPegasis.
Its also worth noting the Killerken Dragooon BGrin works well in Zero G.
Crab

Do we not include releases in other Sets if not a recolor? It would be good to know all the releases it is included in, but I guess it is not necessary.

Couple errors in your draft.

Quote:seven minutes,but has many

You need a space before "but".
Quote:BGrin is considered by many to be the best parts


Should be "one of the best parts".

Quote:Attack Mode is when the Metal Frame displays Orion's "Smirk", four blue stars, and two prominent smooth curves. The more rigid and indented Mode is Stamina Mode.


Also, I'm not positive on this but I think the modes were right before you changed them.

Quote:Mold Variation: Hasbro Metal Fury Version
Like all of Hasbro's Metal Fury releases, Phantom is one piece, stuck in its default mode (Stamina Mode). The PC Core area of the Metal Fury Phantom is made completely out of metal to avoid making another mold to make a second piece for the Metal Wheel. The Metal Fury Phantom is also, unfortunately, around 10 grams lighter than its original 4D counterpart. This fact combined with the reduced Flywheel Effect from the PC Core being metal makes Phantom no better than Earth and Burn, which are currently outclassed in the Hasbro Meta by Basalt, Hell, and (Hyperblade) Phantom. The version of this Metal Wheel is completely useless, and the original 4D (Hyperblade) version of it has been released to Hasbro Bladers.

Uh the BGrin section needs way more work. You need to make it clear how no one used to use in BB-10 (or used to) and what it worked against and what it didn't. Also make it clear that it's main use is for countering spin stealers. Also say why it's the one of the best parts for Zero-G.
This is terrible and definitely needs to be fleshed out, but I'm putting up something for us to work with.
Quote:B:D has little competitive use in the BB-10 stadium because of its poor grip on the stadium floor, having grip worse than D Series tips. This make B:D very prone to KOs. B:D is also known for being able to be beaten by common Track heights (insert heights here). However, B:D does have use in a BB-10 countering Spin-Stealers in combos such as (Death Cancer/Killerken/Revizer/Gargole Dragooon B:D?).

B:D is considered to be one of the best parts in Zero-G because of its great balance, bearing support, and resistance to Sway Attack. Adding a heavy Synchrom Wheel can work extremely well in combos such as (Killerken/Revizer/Gargole Dragooon B:D) have been proven to work extremely well because of the high weight and the Beyblade being able to spin left.
The other main reason it wasn't used is because it does pretty badly against some very common track heights (which will need to be specifically named by someone that really knows them). Need to say that it didn't really have any usage before Zero-G came out apart from in the UK. The other reason for their use in Zero G is because the wheels are so heavy which will need to be stated.
I don't know which heights B: D is bad against, but I made edits based on your suggestions, Ultra.

For the mold variation on Phantom, I believe we should make an article separate for Phantom Orion 145ES and eventually link that section to it. How would that be?
Um, it depends if we are doing it for all Metal Fury articles. Are we?
To my knowledge, yes. They are Beyblades that have proper releases.
Is there any need to mention Orion's great synergy with Flash, or are the competitive uses of Clear Wheels unnecessary?
Yeah, it's mentioned in the recent drafts. You're probably looking at the unedited version in the OP.
I was confused why the OP hasn't been updated with the additions to it. There are 12 pages now, going to take awhile to do it all at once and what does and doesn't need to be added and changed. there is supposed to be instructions for breaking in a B: D too and well I didn't feel like looking through 12 pages for that additional info.
